Bill Miller is the last fund manager I would follow. He kept buying Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac and others all the way down. His investment strategy is to simply buy big name stocks that have fallen. But as he should have learned in 2008, stocks often fall because their business is deteriorating.

Guess Bill Miller bought it non-stop all the way from $700 on down to the current price Naturally he'd like to pump it up by enticing other people to buy, so he could get back to even. What a grand plan!
